Morbid, interesting, and funny. Some chapters are great, and others I had to skip parts of.

Okay yeah this confirms that I just love this author. I love her sense of humor, it's very dark but in such a fun way, kinda like Jenny Lawson whom I adore. I learned so much and can't stop spouting random facts about death and dead bodies to people who absolutely did not ask me to do so but 🤷‍♀️ we should all get more comfortable talking about death, right? Also thank you to the kids who asked these great questions lol they're so cool before society ruins them 🫠

This book answers questions that all of us have probably had about death at some point in our lives. Caitlin Doughty is a mortician and content creator who dedicates her platform to making the world feel more comfortable with death and all that comes with it. I have always struggled with a lot of these concepts so reading this was outside of my comfort zone, but I found it extremely informative, accessible and even funny. The only reason why i didn't give it quite 5 stars is just because I would've liked some chapters to have more information.

Love Caitlin Doughty! After watching so many of her videos, it was almost like I could hear her voice in my head narrating the book as I was reading it.
